Hi!
I am looking to jump on DAP bandwagon after my iPod died and stumbled upon this forum. I have made up my mind, well almost, to go for a Benji player and was doing some research lately. My requirements are to use the DAP mostly on bluetooth with my Skullcandy Crushers Wireless. I really liked the reviews on S5 Bluetooth on this forum but the limitations of bluetooth menu is a bit of a letdown (inability to navigate while connected to bluetooth, disconnection when moving to main menu, no access to folders just one big list etc.) Can anyone with S5B provide details on bluetooth menu/navigation and also battery life on bluetooth please ?
Also, from this forum I gathered, that AGPTek and Benji are the same products (S5 is M20, but there is no S5 Bluetooth varient in AGPTek). I found an AGPTek product that has a versatile bluetooth functionality:

Product Description
New Bluetooth Function
Able to go back to the main menu when using bluetooth. Also supports playlist, rewind/fast forward, FM radio under bluetooth mode.
High Sound Quality
Supports audio formats: MP3/WMA/OGG/APE/FLAC/WAV/AAC-LC/ACELP etc. MP3/WMA/WAV/FLAC/APEN in bluetooth mode. Not support Audible and WMA DRM directly.
Resume Playback & Bookmarks.
Not have to listen from the beginning of a song or playlist again and again. The player will remember where you left off last time! And it allows you to add up to 10 bookmarks for each audio file.
One Key to Lock Screen
If inadvertently pressing the wrong button or screen, one lock screen button gives a nice solution. Independent volume control(up and dowm button).
Operate without Activating Screen
When the screen is off and unlocked, volume up/down, skip to the previous/next track, play/pause are available (rewind/fast forward needs screen to be on).
Is there any Benji product like this ? Can S5 Bluetooth be customised, via a firmware update, to have a similar bluetooth functionality. I am also looking for a good battery life on Bluetooth, hopefully not trying to fit an elephant in a car with all these requirements.
Thanks for help members.
